Is it sad that I don't know who any of these people are? (Well, I know Jon Stewart obviously. And R. Kelly, but that's mostly because he was on The Boondocks.)
I just realized I don't know the mayor of the nearest town to me. And the second nearest, in the other direction, I only know because he's also the town vet. :/
What is with all these crazy politicians? Is there a secret oath of office they take to screw around?
Oh, yes, he is pretty. Mmm. And Tom's complaining, saying, "Now damn it, *I* was the pretty one!"
The scary thing is, they are pretty much untouchable. Even if they are convicted, they'll serve probation or the minimum sentence, and then they'll have a cushy time of it. There are two sets of laws in this country-- those for the rich and those for everyone else.
"There, there," Rupert cooed, running a finger along Tom's jaw. "You're *still* the prettiest one to me."
Tom frowned. He had decided he was going to have a good long pout, and now Rupert, his breath smelling of cherries, was trying to mollify him. "You ate the last of the jubilee, didn't you?"
Rupert's cheeks turned as bright red as his hair.
...
idk.
Amen. The mayor of Detroit (I refuse to call him "my" mayor; I didn't vote for him) personifies that mentality. Ugh.

Huh? Sorry, I was HIP-MOE-TIZED by your icon. @_@
I think a lot of people get into that position with a little bit of power, and they think they fecking untouchable or something.
(Gods, Rupert is so pretty in that promo shot...)
